Help me decide if I should leave a startup
I recently started at a 2 year old startup that just raised a 95M series C round. Valuation is 500M. Place is profitable with 40M ARR out of which over 50% is profit. There seems to be same competition in the space. I have about 0.2% in options at the latest strike price (probably not great). My base is 210k. State tax. Work is fun, but rushed, people seem great.
I have another offer for 325k at a hedge fund in a M cost area with NO state tax - same base and the rest is cash bonus given every 6 months. People also seem great. I pro is less rushed more quality focused.
Please help me choose... I have 2 days left to decide
Money is primary consideration... Not sure how I would feel if I leave and startup makes it big. For context my net worth is about 1.3M all liquid.
